  • Publication number: 20230009988
    Abstract: A pulsation damper (100) for a condensate pump comprising a body (105) having a fluid inlet (115), a fluid outlet (125), an inner wall portion (107) and an outer wall portion (108), wherein the inner (107) and outer (108) wall portions define an inner fluid region (160) and an outer fluid region (165), wherein the inner fluid region (160) is in fluid communication with the outer fluid region (165), wherein a fluid flow path is formed from the fluid inlet (115) to the fluid outlet (125) via the inner fluid region (160), wherein the outer fluid region (165) is in fluid communication with an air inlet (130) and configured to maintain an air pocket, and wherein the air pocket is configured to dissipate pulsations within liquid entering the fluid inlet (115) prior to being discharged from the fluid outlet (125).

  • Patent number: 10760938
    Abstract: A liquid level detector for use in a pump control system comprises a chamber 20 for liquid, a liquid inlet 6 to the chamber 20, a liquid outlet 7 from the chamber and connectable to a pump, and a capacitive sensor comprising mutually spaced capacitive sensor elements (21, 22; 22, 23) forming a capacitance which is sensitive to permittivity within a region of the chamber proximate the capacitive sensor. The chamber is defined at least partially by a barrier member 25 and the capacitive sensor elements are provided on the barrier member outside the chamber.
